Today is a collaboration of sorts...My dearest friend,who is now in
Germany for a couple of years, has a neighbor that has a dog....THIS DOG.
She took photos and thought that it looked like a possible painting.....
I totally agreed and set out to create this painting of the dog taking
a nap in the sun. It was fun to do and I liked the final result!

We definitely spend a lot of time waiting for things.......I often find myself observing the body language of peopleon the street and trying to capture these little moments,like waiting for a light to change.

My paintings are of everyday moments and today's
painting captures that concept for me in every way.
Edward Hopper is one of my all time favorite artists because
his work captured the moments of his time. So, today's painting
is a painting of a man in the moment of viewing the Hopper's
view of his everyday moment.

My old spinet piano...It was the family piano that I learned on when
I was a little kid. My father played great old tunes on it most of
his life. Now, when I take a painting break, I sit down and play
for a while,it often seems as though he is with me..

I was commissioned to revisit a painting that I did in 2007.
They wanted a larger painting and I did a few revisions.
It is fun to go back and revisit an earlier image because
it seems like I can always find things I want to do a bit
differently.
